OK, so by accident with the monthly cookie expiring I noticed that you're right. As of this moment, episode 5 of Hataraku Maou-sama is NOT available for free users but it IS visible for Elite subscribers. Paradoxically however, for the first 10 minutes of trying to play the video, I get the free version with ads and no 720... oh, Funimation, only you could show the ad free version only to Elite subscribers while not showing it to free users until hours later...

OK. I think it was Napoleon who said don't attribute to malice what can be easily explained as incompetence. I been assuming it was just Funimation being a bit lazy in terms of actually meeting their advertised schedule. The EVS coming up on time suggests they take hitting the schedule for the EVS more seriously, but if the free one has got a problem, they take their own sweet time to getting around to fixing it.

Ok first off, I find it kinda offensive people complain about CR not posting it and saying "Other sites" we know what "Other sites" you people are talking about, illegal sites. And while YES I DO use them for anime that aren't getting official subs by CR and Funi, I don't use them for anime's I can watch here. If it's not up yet on CR, that means something happened, either on their end, or a delay was caused between Crunchy and Wit Studio/whoever they go to for the rights for the anime. Give it time, it SHOULD be up today, or we'll get a message from Crunchy about why it was delayed.

Also as for the whole night upload thing, it's actually fairly easy to schedule the episodes to go up at a certain time, but the thing is why schedule something when people aren't going to be away to watch it. Some people have to go to sleep and work, and while I know people are going to reply saying "oh I'm up, I'll watch it", think about this... for every 1 person who'd be saying this, 5 people would be going to sleep at that time. It's not worth uploading it and for the first few hours not getting the ratings you'd hoped for in the start, it can affect their deals with the companies int he future negatively.
